Troubles Opening BOT Files
Quake 3 Arena is Not Installed
You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open BOT Files" when trying to open your BOT. Customarily, this means that Quake 3 Arena is not installed on %%os%%. Your operating system cannot associate your BOT with Quake 3 Arena, so double-clicking the file won't work.
Tip: Another BOT-related program can be selected to open the file by clicking "Show Apps" and finding the application.
Outdated Quake 3 Arena
In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a Quake 3 Arena Bot AI Data File file that is unsupported by your installed application version. If you do not have the proper version Quake 3 Arena (or any of the other programs listed above), you may need to try downloading a different version of it, or one of the other software applications listed above. This issue mainly occurs when your Quake 3 Arena Bot AI Data File file was created by a newer version of Quake 3 Arena than you have on your PC.
Tip: Sometimes you can get a clue about the version of BOT file you have by right clicking on the file, then clicking on "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac OSX).
Summary: Not having the right Quake 3 Arena version on your computer can cause problems opening BOT files.
